Yesterday some people came round to play Castle Crashers, we moved on from that to Guitar Hero: World Tour, then to Halo 3′s Multiplayer, then to Worms 2. In short it was good fun. I was also lent Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones and a Gamecube. Today I tried it out:
You can see from there that there’s some problem with the vertical resolution, which I’ll play around with later. I used VLC Media player to view the source from the Gamecube. With it I also forced a 16:9 aspect ratio, here are the two best resulting framegrabs (at double resolution) with the letterbox pieces cut off:
One of the defining features of this game so far has been it’s blue-ness. Almost everything has been coloured in just shades of blue. Maybe my colours are messed up. Oh, and it follows what seems to be a convention by now, Prince discovers a city (Babylon) that has recently been attacked and is now conveniently full of monsters. The princess is kidnapped by the monsters/lost in the city somewhere. Add in ledges, wallrunning and an annoying voice-over to narrate the story and you’ve basically got a Prince of Persia game.
While I was browsing through the camera I noticed photos from this winter. The triangular mountain-thing on the left is Thorpe Cloud, and I’m on the right:
